Frustrated with the impact of digital devices, a Minneapolis AP Literature teacher banned phones and laptops from her classroom, and the results were striking.
Maureen Mulvaney, who teaches at Washburn High School, decided to go fully “old-school.” Students completed all their work using pencil and paper, and physical books replaced digital PDFs. Though some students were initially nervous about falling behind, the experiment aimed to restore deep focus, reading stamina, and clear thinking that many educators believe screens have weakened.
The outcomes exceeded expectations. In September, only 46% of her students felt confident in their reading abilities. By February, just five months later, that number jumped to 95%. Students who once struggled to write even half a page by hand were soon producing six- to seven-page essays. Nearly 80% reported that organizing ideas and thinking clearly was easier on paper than on a screen. Many also said the change helped them reduce overall screen time at home and improved their real-world conversations.
@realofficers I am sorry for you and their friends and family.
It is a very blessed thing to have the full assurance of Heaven and eternity.
Praise God for His infinite Mercy and Grace!
Not sure how I am only just now hearing this*, but in case you had not heard it, that POS dirtbag with the AR that went on a shooting rampage in Cambridge, MA the other day, he was stopped by an armed civilian who was joined by a cop, they worked as a team, and stopped the suspect.
You know, ALL of the stuff that the antigun crowd says NEVER happens.
In fact, this one incident is the perfect example of how every relevant democrat policy is dead wrong.
- Democrat soft on crime policies put a multiple time convicted felon and attempted cop killer back on the street in the blink of an eye.
- MA strict gun laws (rated an A by Giffords) did absolutely nothing to prevent a convicted felon from getting a gun.
- An armed private citizen actually engaged the suspect.
- When the cops arrived, despite what antigun Dems love to say, the cop was immediately able to tell the difference between the armed civilian and the armed shitbag.
- The cops did not shoot the wrong person.
- The armed civilian did not shoot a bunch of random innocent people.
- The armed civilian and the cop worked together to end the situation, saving innocent lives.
Guns Save Lives! Practice your ABC's - Always Be Carrying!
(* Actually, I do know why it took so long to come out, the MSM doesn't like it when armed civilians save the day.)
@policelawnews The video has been run through AI.
It cleans it up - but is not 100% accurate to the original 1970’s era garbage video provided by the Hilton.

This video could save lives, since leftists have allowed MILLIONS of terrorlsts into Western countries.
